In 480 B.C., the Persian army led by King Xerxes advances toward Greece, but the Greek warriors, under King Leonidas, fiercely resist at the mountain pass of Thermopylae in one of history’s most famous last stands. Renowned historian Paul Cartledge revisits this pivotal battle, exploring its lasting impact on culture, power, and ideas about bravery and sacrifice.
